Atlas Copco: Atlas Copco’s Water for All celebrates 30 years

Today it is exactly 30 years since Water for All was founded. What once
was a one-time initiative to collect money to a project in Peru has
grown into a worldwide initiative with presence in 35 countries. Water
for All has helped more than 1.5 million people get access to clean
drinking water.

Water for All is today Atlas Copco’s main community engagement project,
initiated and driven on local level by Atlas Copco employees. Its
mission is to provide people in need with long-term access to clean
drinking water.

“The need for clean drinking water in the world is huge and we are very
proud of the work done by dedicated employees, supported by the
company,” said Annika Berglund, Senior Vice President Corporate
Communications and Governmental Affairs.

Water for All is represented in 35 countries with about 5 000 regularly

amount.100% of the employee donations go directly into water projects.
